The American revolution was historically progressive. It led to the French and Haitian revolutions as well. I don't think we have to single out specific figures, although Thomas Paine was on the radical edge. Jefferson was also a radical who supported the French revolution and yet he owned slaves. By now, capitalism has outlived it's historical usefulness.

The term Left was literally invented to mean the French Revolutionaries, the people who used the guillotines!
